Lately my family has been eating so much that I can’t make enough to have leftovers, which is good I suppose because it means they’re enjoying their food! The one thing I always have leftovers of is spaghetti squash I suppose because my kids don’t eat it. Honestly it’s not my favorite either so not the greatest thing to have leftover of!Michele @ paleorunningmomma recently posted…Week in Workouts and Truth About Yoga Photos

I usually find that a spaghetti squash is great for dinner for two plus leftovers for lunches the next day! I find that some spaghetti squashes are better than others, but its one of those foods that I never really mind eating, but I don’t get super excited about it either:)

Any meal that has leftovers I am a fan off. Neither of my brothers like leftovers but I LOVE them. My parents are always happy when I come home because I don’t mind having leftovers for lunch. I actually prefer it. This might be because I hate seeing any food going to waste.

This weekend I am going to make a copy cat recipe off the TJ Peppermint Pretzel slims. Fingers crossed they turn out well.Sara @ Lake Shore Runner recently posted…Breakfast in Bed with Link Love #4

I have come to enjoy leftovers over the years, and would much prefer to eat them rather than wasting food and have to cook something else! I do get bored when I eat the same thing a lot so one or two meals of leftovers is about all I can handle:) I hope the recipe works out!

I really like having leftover sweet potatoes and anything asian. Yum. We have been holiday baking up a storm over here. I think we have another day’s worth to go before we are finished 😉AJ @ NutriFitMama recently posted…Vegan Peppermint Hot Chocolate Mix Recipe

I literally almost added the same exact paleo chicken tenders to our meal plan, but changed it up last minute. Hah!

To answer your question, I sadly haven’t made one batch of Christmas cookies or treats this year. I really need to get on it though. Especially since the babies may be coming sooner then though.Jessie recently posted…Meal Plan: 12/13 through 12/19

We made gingerbread people last week which was really fun! For leftovers, I like to make a huge batch of quinoa salad or a soup/chili. Simple meat/veggie dinners we tend to finish off. I guess I’m not used to making enough for more than 2-3 people, and we all have good appetites. 🙂Laura @ Mommy Run Fast recently posted…4 month sleep regression, workouts + meal planning

Usually things like quinoa or anything in the crock pot we end up with tons of leftovers too! And my mom made a huge lasagna this weekend so we got sent home with lots of leftovers of that as well! Gingerbread people sound like so much fun to make!

Sounds like a great week! I really need to learn how to make spaghetti squash! I’m still in search of a nice dessert to make for Christmas since I’ll be with my boyfriend’s family this year!Janelle @ Run With No Regrets recently posted…What’s for Dinner: Week Before Xmas

Spaghetti squash is pretty easy! I cut it down the middle (long-ways) and take out the seeds, and roast it face down for 20-25 mins on 425. Then I usually just eat it with ground turkey and tomato sauce or something simple. There are just so many good/fun desserts out there (especially on pinterest) it can be a little overwhelming!

All of your meals sound great! I’m definitely going to be trying those chocolate pecan bites mmm 🙂
When it comes to leftovers, I try to make sure I have some sort of a protein left. It’s been very difficult lately because my husband has been working a lot and comes home absolutely starving. I always find it easier to use leftovers for breakfast or lunch using leftover meat.Yuliya recently posted…Let’s chat & healthy, paleo meal plan

Great ideas! And I am with you on the protein. Whenever we have leftover chicken, steak, or ground meat I use it in salads for lunches. You should definitely make the pecan bites, they are really good!
